[@MommaC1106]

😊😊

[@edwardulrich1515]

Ben and David, I know you each pack your own bags, but since one or both of you seem to have your luggage hijacked, I'd suggest that each of you pack one outfit in each other's luggage so that you have at least one change of clothes should only one person's luggage get waylaid.

[@irenedavo3768]

Yes half and half!

[@wondrafuladventures]

This is what my spouse and I do going on the trip. On the way home we don't care 🐱

[@helendolan7716]

I have always packed half and half also in hand luggage clean underwear and shirts and teeshirt and sandles

[@Traveler-nu8xc]

Agree, we only swap 1 regular outfit, one more dressy and carry on a clean shirt and undies 😮

[@joeneeld9427]

I came here to say the same thing!

[@akcmom1948]

One bit of advice...cross pack. Then hopefully if only one suitcase is lost you will both still have clothes.

[@barbarashuster9029]

We packed carry on with a couple days clothes then checked suitcase. Of course after taking carry-on plus bag, our luggage arrived fine!

[@virvin911]

That's an awesome idea! I have never thought of that. My mom and I have been on several cruises together. We usual pack our swim gear and a spare shirt in our carry-on, just in case our luggage is late. Neither one of us thought about what would happen if our luggage gets lost. Thank you, again! This is going in my cruise notes page.

[@timmeekings6899]

My wife suggested something about your suitcase problems. If you pack your cases half and half - clothes wise, then if one of them gets mislaid you should both have a certain amount of clothes. Enough to be getting on with.

[@grtlyblesd]

We always do this when we travel. At least one outfit for each person in each bag, plus a change of clothes in carry on.

[@stevenpercy4172]

What a genius idea 😊

[@maryfisher7915]

Just before David said it looked like Passengers, I had the exact same thought! Thank you for all your work to bring us along with you on each of your journeys.

[@FloridaGrams1422]

I can feel your excitement. What a magnificent cruise ship. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@lennysails7823]

❤Love

[@tinklesmontoya5092]

Hey there, boys! Just wanted to say how much I love watching your videos, being able to tag along with you on your travels. Absolutely adore you both!! And as a fellow friend of Dorthy here in America, I am a forever fan. Thank you guys for the wonderful content you share with us. Have a great rest of your week, you two crazy kids 💙🌈⚓💙

[@benmorgan51]

Love your shows guys! My wife and I lost a bag for two days while we were in Italy some years back. So now when we travel half my clothes go in her suitcase and half her stuff in mine. We pack all medications in our carry on with at least one change of clothes in each as well. Good job, and keep up the good work.

[@candacemarshall2408]

Ben and David, I came across you just surfing around youtube, well I am addicted and cannot stop watching all your videos, Ben you are hilarious, I laugh out loud David you are so sweet, Keep it coming! Yours Truly, Candace

[@kingblake2490]

@26:53 - @27:05 I just love Ben and David; they’re so fun and hilarious!😂

[@dragonflydreamer7269]

Loved your highlighter tips! We bring a pink and a yellow one with us. We each mark the things we want to see/do and when they turn orange (meaning we both wanted the same event) we make sure to go to those together. That way we can have great discussions later over meals about what we saw/learned!

[@johnboucek6282]

Johnny from Las Vegas. Could you start adding casino walk throughs on your cruises? A very important criteria for thousands of dedicaded players worldwide. Many guests prefer casino action after dinning rather than shows. Love your channel. Just discovered it a few weeks ago and half already viewed about 50 episodes! Thank You!

[@thesuncollective1475]

5:11 I got the phobia too..weird only recent fear. The Skywalk at the Grand Canyon is worse trust me. I got to say this tour is Top Draw.

[@tongueking]

You guys pack a lot of info in 30 mins, no fluff just facts. Much appreciated. My wife and I learned early in our traveling to pack medicine, toiletries, one or two outfits and undies in our carry on. The feeling of a lost bag is terrible. Keep up the good work.

[@joelshaw1961]

Since you both have gone through the missing luggage thing, can you please make a video what it's like, what did the airline gives you if anything, did any insurance cover anything, how long does the airline have before they have to reimburse you for everything in the lost baggage. I have never lost any bag, and before it ever happens to me, if you could please tell us how you two went through it. Thank You Both

[@ivysylvan]

My wife and I just stepped off the Prima this morning! Our very first cruise ever--loved it!

[@markupham4368]

Can't believe the airlines lost your luggage again, we recently went away and packed half our luggage in our hand luggage due to the 1st time your luggage was lost. The rainbow was amazing.

[@smeLLyphant37]

I think Food Republic was the best speciality food place and the Indulgence Hall was top notch!!! I miss being on the cruise already! Thanks for bringing back memories! ❤❤❤

[@shiven1427]

I love yalls energy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dmiller5765]

The rainbows were gorgeous. The ship has a very architectural/modern/cozy look. Shamazing!

[@Cruisewith]

They were so beautiful!!

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

@@CruisewithDid you hear the story of the American woman a few years ago that after her husband died (who used to go cruising with her when they first married) that she eventually sold her house and car and moved onto cruise ships all around the world?

[@salsanacho]

2:23 When the video got to that point, I paused it and was about to type a comment about how much it looked like the ship from the movie Passengers. Then I unpaused and you guys talked about how much it looked like the Passengers movie.

[@debbief2882]

I am so excited to see your views of this ship. Packing tip, maybe pack 1/2 for each of you in each bag. So you will both have something to wear...just in case.

[@andreagallucio7463]

Do that all the time as safety measure

[@ddmg10]

I do this too.

[@cindygilmer2311]

Great review! Can't wait to see more. I was really struggling with depression and anxiety before I watched this. Thanks for making me laugh!! I feel better now.

[@veronicashine1812]

Thanks for presenting this ship. You are really getting us excited for our cruise next Sept. on the her sister, Viva.

[@NWSanta]

Sorry about your bag David, Hopefully it catches up to you. It's a sad reality these days, not enough people in the airports to keep everything moving. Thank you for taking us along this Magnificent Ship! You guys have just a fantastic energy!!!

[@justiciaparaespana7236]

I just finished my cruise onboard of MSC Orchestra. I had the best cruise in my life not like Costa Cruceros who screwed my holidays on march 2019. This is a gorgeous ship!

[@WestCoastCultured]

I can’t wait to go on!!!!! One of the most beautiful ships I’ve ever seen so far!

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey guys. The Prima!!!!!!!! Such a beautiful ship. Ben. So true. Lots of natural light. Sorry about David’s luggage 🧳 but you guys just go with the flow and don’t let it destroy your vacation. Glass walkway 😮. Indulge. Ok. I see the iPad is labeled I4 so you order on the pad and they bring it to the iPad location. Your meal looks 😋. The restaurants look well lit. Not dark and dreary. Yes. Even your cabin. Beautiful soft and inviting color scheme. The bathroom looks fantastic. Large shower and sink. How nice brand new furniture. Clean. No spills. Yes. Great storage space under the bed for luggage 🧳. Large tv indeed. Some free on demand movies - nice. The balcony seats do look comfy. Omg. Double rainbow 🌈’s. So there is no verbal interaction with a server in terms of ordering your meal or drink until it is brought to you. Wow. Glad the show was fantastic. You bought lost toiletries. Very eventful first day. Thanks for sharing and see you next video. Have a great week.

[@Divaoftheseas]

Wow! Stunning! I love a modern ship as well. I performed on a few Norwegian ships and I didn’t like the decor, but this is stunning! ❤️

[@MultiMattman68]

The Prima definitely has nicer decor than Carnival

[@Divaoftheseas]

@@MultiMattman68 I’ve never cruised or performed on Carnival, but the Prima is gorg. ❤️

[@christinevillela2710]

I have a friend with a glass walkway in their home. Even that freeks me out. The ship is beautiful!

[@pamelawiggins6347]

Such soft, fresh colors.🌹😍

[@belindan4974]

You guys are the best. 👍🏼 Love your descriptions. Great reviews. 🍽👏🏼 We embark on October 31 out of Galveston! Beautiful ship. ⚓️❤️

[@vamoscruceros]

The decor, especially in the cabin, seems consistent with a lot of high-end yachts.

[@pamj4827]

Wow what a stunning ship, it has so much natural lighting. I didn’t like the atrium it reminds me of a government building. The artwork in the cabin is lovely, in the bathroom also which is nice. As always great content, always lol at Ben’s witty one liners and David this time too. Oh my goodness that bloody airline, they had one job and messed it up twice!! Can’t wait to see Oscar on a cruise with you guys again you have so much fun.

[@ashleyarmstrong9782]

We are leaving for Toronto, Ontario, Canada on the 26 flying out on the 27 to Tampa Bay, Florida we catch our cruise boat on the 28th Caribbean: Curacao, Aruba & Dominican Republic (Tampa, Florida, Key West, Florida, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, Oranjestad, Aruba, Willemstad, Curaçao, George Town, Grand Cayman, Tampa, Florida) 11 days cruise on Norwegian Dawn our second time on this cruise boat we get like a month before COVID started and we're going back on it January 26 - February 8, 2023

[@erikagholston6610]

I can't believe the airline lost your luggage again. You had some delicious looking food so far. I can't wait to see the rest of your cruise videos.

[@norberteng9496]

Thanks so much, Ben and David. Next April can’t come fast enough. Can’t wait to get on. I don’t care where she goes.

[@judysmith9552]

loved the rainbow, my sister passed away on a wednesday while we were on the cruise.while we were sitting on the balcony we saw a beautiful rainbow.

[@natashalanghein1282]

That rainbow is breathtaking!! Just Wow

[@gailmueller174]

I love the views that are available in the restaurant. We were on the Odyssey of the Seas and the specialty restaurants were hidden away without a view.

[@Jrsun4ever]

I love your vlogs. OMG!! This was great I’m always in stitches when it comes to your twist on words for descriptions of food. Lol lol. This looks like it will be a fun cruise. Looking forward to seeing it through your videos. Sweet dreams.

[@virvin911]

Hi, Ben & David!! Thank you for taking us on the cruises with you! Some of the places you go look AMAZING! The Prima has really upped the game for new and older ships being remodeled. The amount of light in the hallways and the carpet not being so dark and dingy looking gives an air of "poshness". I can't wait to watch the full tour! I do have a couple of questions for Ben, if you have a moment. Where are your glasses? You want to be able to see the beautiful places you go, right? ;-) Are you wearing contacts or did you get the laser surgery? Thank you!

[@gailcraig4495]

I was wondering what was different..... its Ben w/o glasses! 🧐

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Aside from the food, the on-ship amenities and the views, I’d largely be one to totally chill out on a cruise and not be as inclined to go off on excursions, not into clubbing and not around kids, but I’d probably be into something like this ship and on this cruise, as it come across as being very classy

[@fiffanj]

We’re booked on the Prima March 2023! Today we booked our island excursions and even got tickets for the Vibe Club ❤. Enjoy seeing your Prima trip and taking lots of food notes! 😊🎉

[@marktheshark7966]

Good afternoon to my favorite vloggers Ben and dave just wanted to let you know that I’ve been watching you for a long time love you videos I love your content I am just so impressed with how you do this and if you look at it you are the greatest U2 are the greatest food critics around you tell people what day or what they’re made of how they taste you guys are so freaking amazing please continue the beautiful work and I continue to look forward to seeing your videos by the way just wanna let you know that I will be on allure of the seas see you there

[@ladylisa0023]

Love the excitement in you. I know exactly how you feel. I feel like a kid on Christmas each time I board a cruise! 😊

[@vickielopresti5767]

After 1 time, having my husband's luggage MIA for 4 days on a Greek cruise, we pack , instead of each having their own suitcases, we do half-vies. And in our carry on, we also pack, one evening going to dinner dress, not fancy, just casual, and our bathing suits, and have found this works well for us! We don't worry as much! Vickie from SE Pa

[@darploin5071]

The corridor that your cabins in is really nice corridor if they put a black strip on the wall on the other side all the way down it would look like one of the corridors on Star Trek the next generation specifically the Enterprise D

[@theofficialpeterkim]

Going on our first Norwegian cruise this December. We can’t wait.

[@danakruse7325]

I thought you would have used the Amazon air tags that locate your luggage. Thanks for the room tour and what the food looked like.

[@104Margie]

Looking on their website, it appears there is only 1 restaurant included which is the buffet. Also, if you upgrade to the Haven you have a special dining room. It seems that cruise ships are changing to floating upscale hotels rather than the all inclusive vacations they’ve always been. Even Carnival is charging for peanut butter room service sandwiches. I guess it’s “progress” but, I loved the days when you paid for your room and everything was included!!!! Regardless, Ben and David, have a super time ❤❤

[@susansmith8274]

Hudson’s is the free main dining room. As of now indulge is also free

[@debsterlee3801]

There are two main dining rooms, The Local which is pub food, and the Indulge Food Hall (where they ate in this vlog) as well as the buffet, all complimentary.

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

I don't know if this is just because of who we booked with, but we are going on Encore soon and got offered a number of free packages. One is a drinks package and another was being able to eat in "paid-for" restaurants for free also. Not all of them but I believe we basically have 3 or 4 "free" bookings on a 12 nighter. Which I think is plenty. So whilst on the face of it the complementary options look a bit thin on choice, the reality seems to be that you can bag some free bookings in the other restaurants pretty easily. Unless that was just a post-covid "get you back on board" thing.

[@cindygilmer2311]

They have at least two main dining rooms that are included.

[@Scott__C]

You guys should just wear all your clothes in layers and then no luggage to get lost, lol. Great footage again!

[@darploin5071]

The last time I sold Norwegian Cruise line it was in the late 80s aboard the Norway and then in 2008 they scrapped it

[@a.ftravels]

🤣 " helps put more chocolate cake and waffles in my face" Ill all for supporting this 🤩😋 and smores ! Lovely ship thanks for sharing the boarding day always a fav of mine !

[@cthompson1707]

I always pack swim suit, formal wear and shoes, and a couple changes of clothing in a carryon. Also, if more than one checked bag, put half of each persons cloths in each suitcase. That way if one bag is lost, both people have clothing in the other bag.

[@baleslauren6]

Wow, it's so beautiful! I can't wait to board the Prima in December!

[@elizabethmartell3258]

Love ❤️ you guys...We will be going on the Prima in December out of Miami for our 10year anniversary ❤️

[@TheMaxRebo]

My first thought when seeing the atrium was it reminded my of a Viking Ocean Cruise we went on - maybe some of it is the color scheme with all the whites and tans and the like. Looks lovely and love the concept of the Indulge place

[@Inquiring_Minds]

I have been binge watching your videos. I was given a couple of free cruises and never went. I just got 2 more one from our casino and one from the Venetian in Vegas. You both have changed my mind on going on a cruise. I was scared of this, and you have changed my mind. I actually have one on Princess due to your videos. I am going to go on the other with my sister to get some time with her. I have not figured out where we will go on this one, but I am going to watch more of your videos to figure out where this destination will be. Love you boys. Nonna Gina xoxo

[@vickyb5935]

This ship, so far, is beautiful! We did our first (probably only) high-end cruise this summer to Alaska on Regent Seven Seas and I have to say, that except for the beautifully upholstered seating in ALL restaurants(incl the buffet) this ship was disappointingly understated! No elegance at all and hardly no glitz or glamour…but on this Norweigen - WOW!

[@kimymarie596]

That ship is absolutely beautiful. I usually prefer more old fashioned decor, but this is lovely.

[@shelibecksilveria7825]

That rainbow, incredible!!!

[@FlaGirl2004]

Love the dignified look of this ship. Glad they got rid of the tackiness on so many other ones.

[@pamelabudrow8699]

Yes please learn how to pack half Ben and half David in each suitcase. It’s happened so many times before that your luck has to change. Hope the rest of the trip is wonderful.

[@OrdinaryDude]

I am SOOOO jealous. Our last cruise was in 2019 out of Copenhagen to cruise the Baltics on the Getaway. (Inspired by your video series...) That ship looks spectacular, and I've always wanted to cruise Norway. Unfortunately my wife is less enthusiastic about cruising. :(

[@mariareyes-ku6194]

Ben, is queso fresco (FRES-KO) and pico de gallo (GA-JO) The first one is a fresh cheese used by Mexicans and Pico de gallo is a Mexican salsa that includes tomatoes and other bold ingredients.

[@annbenson9257]

Thank you for the amazing tour! I was impressed to see that they actually use table cloths in the MDR. Very beautiful! Can’t wait to see more of Norway!

[@doc2w534]

NCL cancelled my Spirit sailing to French Polynesia and offered a cruise credit. So just booked a Transatlantic from NYC to Southampton on the Prima. And I am so excited to finally get to sail on it.

[@Cruisewith]

That's fantastic! It's disappointing when a cruise gets cancelled, but it's great that you were able to use the cruise credit towards a new adventure on the Prima. A Transatlantic cruise from NYC to Southampton sounds like a wonderful journey. We're excited for you to experience the Prima and all the amazing moments that await you on board. Bon voyage and enjoy every moment of your upcoming cruise! 🚢😄🌊

[@MRBenchwork]

2:46 whoa, that's cool.

[@rickthibodeau9172]

Glad to hear you liked the ship! We sail on her in June of 2023. I'm looking forward to it!

[@carolcalf2032]

Wow the rainbow. I’ve never seen anything like it

[@darploin5071]

I see a safety issue where the placement of those hooks are if they just place it on the wall that's right next to the couch they would have been out of a way still easy to access and not be in danger of impaling someone if the ship is knocked or lurched by a heavy wave those hooks looks like they can impale you if you were thrown against the bulkhead by the ship getting knocked by a wave or something

[@poodlebone]

I just found your channel and love it! My sister & I will be on the Prima out of NYC in April 2023 and I can't wait!

[@junglejayne2827]

I love your videos, I love living vicariously through your travel. What I would really love is if you guys would tell us what the date is and when you board and when you disembark. I would just like to know when this is happening. I figure you are not actually on the ship when this video plays. Just thought I would ask! Thank you for sharing with those of us who cannot travel!❤️
